If you own a business and you want to advertise, are you going to go check out the yellow pages to place your ad? It still circulates and they have a website. Maybe you have fond memories of getting the new yellow pages directory when you were a kid. It would be a place to advertise, but dollar for dollar you'll have more exposure though other advertising platforms.

Do you work in advertising? Is this your area of expertise? What exactly puts you in position to tell others what they are doing is wrong and what they should do instead?

You're just coming off as arm chair businessman.

The other reason for asking a pointed question about the business decision to invest in HotS is to find the "why".

Again, is it your place to ask that? Is this your business?

Is a newer org looking to cash grab on a community desperate for any positive engagement? They're wanting to build a team...to do what?

We are currently bleeding players and organizations, if an organization wants to support a team of high level players for their own gain, isn't that still better than nothing? Wouldn't that down the line encourage more organizations to come?

They don't outline their plans for said team, what their end goal is with their investment, there's no structure to it.

Again, it's not your company, why do you need to know all that? It's fairly obvious that they are looking for a way to get financial gain from this, and that's different than majority of other companies how? At the same time, why is that a bad thing? Some attention is better than no attention, is it not? The game is currently hurting, it needs outside help to grow in order to survive.

But by all means downvote the pragmatist and live in a field of hopes and dreams.

It's more like, downvote the person sitting in his chair swirling a glass of cheap wine wearing a fedora. You're not doing a community service, you're simply stating that you are better than everyone and some sort of vigilante, while the only real thing you are doing is stating, hey I know you want to put money in a game that's currently struggling which would help the game survive long term, but how dare you monsters expect to have some financial gain from this and do it from the kindness of your hearts.

Regardless if their intent is selfish or not, they are already doing more for this game and community than you ever did, why chew them out for it?
